BB23: Live Feeds into Tuesday Afternoon - July 13

 

Britini listens intently to Kyland ... or not.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• My apologies for being a bit late with this ... technical issues. Grr.
• As you must know from my last post, Derek X saved Kyland with the veto and Frenchie put Travis up in his place. On the block are Alyssa and Travis.
• Now, strictly if the women in the house vote as a block and the men as another block, Travis would go.
• I'm not really sure that will happen, but it's a strong possibility.
• Of course, some may stray the gender line, but ...!
• Both Kyland and Xavier, for example, are having issues with Travis and Frenchie. They also don't fit into the Alpha Boyz Bunch of Travis, Christian, Derek X and Brent.
• Mind you, I personally think Xavier is definitely a real alpha male and even probably the most physically fit in the house. But that's not his personality.
• I'm really enjoying Xavier on the feeds. The other day he threw a "for the camera" temper tantrum stomping, jumping up and down and fussing how the week was supposed to be an easy one! Maybe you had to be there but it was a hoot to watch!
• Hmm ... now the guys are talking about voting to keep Alyssa.
• Geez, these are fans and superfans of the show.
• They should know we hate house votes.
• Alyssa has been making the rounds trying to clinch the votes.
• Frenchie solidified the Slaughterhouse alliance. Now it seems to be Frenchie, Whitney, Alyssa, Christian, Derek F, Kyland, Brent and Xavier.
• Um.
• Well.
• Like so much this week, that makes no sense. 
• Supposedly Frenchie wants to target Christian.
• I guess maybe he really wants Alyssa kept over Travis.
• Kyland, for reasons I cannot comprehend, still trusts Frenchie. Yeah, really. I don't know why.
• The only one I've seen Xavier get close to at all is Derek F and that's a bit of a surface thing.
• Kyland told SarahBeth about the Slaughterhouse.
• Oh my.
• I don't think I've ever been so confused by the feeds. Had they started after the hamsters were in the house for a week, we'd be lost all season!
• BB itself seems confused. They broke their forever rule of no outside news except for family emergencies by letting the hamsters know who made the Oympics gymnastics team.
• Hmm.
• Why?
• They didn't need to do that. Britini had wondered but they didn't have to tell them!
• Tiffany and Hannah wonder how someone can play the game without being a fan of the show ... Derek X is one of those. He studied a few seasons and is a quick study but he started out very lost.
• Tiffany and Claire seem to be just a couple of the hamsters this season into the live feeds. I believe Xavier and Derek F might have watched them also, perhaps not so faithfully.
• Now, Frenchie is way into the show. But his game is all over the place.
• That said ... at least it keeps things lively!
• I just hope they won't be falling into house votes.
• But it looks like we have at least a mostly house vote coming up.
• No great loss.

Why oh why does he trust Frenchie so much?

You were saved by it, did NOT win it, Kyland!

Xavier is my choice out of this room!

So, does this mean a showmance with Brent?

The strongest group of BB women in eons!

He's already talking about ousting Kyland?!?

I like Britini more than I thought I would

So, are his days now numbered?

BB23: Live Feeds Power of Veto Bulletin - July 12

 

The suspense is over. They had their Power of Veto ceremony today. Frenchie finally had to show his real hand. And, that hand kind of looks like what I predicted --

Derek X saved Kyland with the veto. In Kyland's place, Frenchie put Travis on the block.

So, it's Travis and Alyssa nominated for eviction.

BB23: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 12

 

I'm not seeing showmance body language there

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Goofy Gophers:

• Yesterday was their big swimsuit group photo shoot. Of course, it was blocked to the live feeds.
• We always missed it as they never used to turn on the feeds for at least a week or so and it happens within that time line.
• One year they photoshopped in a hamster who had already been evicted.
• Heh.
• Naturally, much time was spent primping for the shoot.
• Me? I think I'd drape a really large beach towel over myself.
• Now, the photo shoot did give them the yard for the first full day and most took advantage of it.
• There was a moment yesterday when Claire, referring to Whitney, said "she doesn't believe Sandy Hook happened."
• I did not hear Whitney say that and I can't find any timestamp information which confirms it was actually said.
• I do NOT want to get into conspiracy theories here. I lived many years in a town adjacent to that school and know someone who lost their grandchild. So, any discussion that it didn't happen will be immediately shut down here.
• Of course, that got them all going talking about various conspiracy theories ... not my favorite topic of discussion at all.
• They should have discussed alliance theories instead!
• My head is still spinning.
• And, the Frenchie talks went on all day and through the night.
• @@
• Derek X definitely wants to save Kyland with the veto.
• No, he doesn't want to do it because that's what Frenchie wants him to do.
• Frenchie told him that is what he'd prefer.
• However, Derek wants to do it because he promised Kyland he would do so.
• I'm pleased with that. I don't want to see Kyland go just yet. 
• Oh, wait. Now Frenchie is saying Kyland needs to go but do what you want to do with the veto.
• Oh, geez.
• Is it just me? Am I going bonkers? Or is Frenchie the most all over the map hamster on record?
• It doesn't help that Christian (one I'm not too keen on) is putting a bug in Frenchie's ear about how Kyland needs to go -- if not taken out this week, he'd have to be a backdoor. Kyland "knows too much."
• I can see it as a film noir now ... "The Hamster Who Knew Too Much"!
• Brent is in his other ear saying they need to save Travis.
• Argh!
• Too much game too soon by too many!
• Yes, I do think this is the best cast in years and years.
• But that doesn't mean they won't drive me crazy!
• Oh.
• What about the women?
• Well, they're playing the game. And, need I say, probably smarter than the men so far.
• We'll know more after today's PoV meeting.
• I still think Derek X will save Kyland and Travis will go on the block.
• If Travis goes on the block, he will be the one going home.
• But, who knows?

Oh my. Is Whitney a conspiracy theory believer?

Just what the heck is going on there, Hannah?

Alpha boys comparing abs. What's next?

Heart sunglasses with bangs still in her eyes

Derek X now in with Frenchie? Um, maybe not so much.

BB23: Nominations Show Blog Party - July 11

 

Greetings! As the show airs, I will updating this entry with the major events. Please refresh the page to get the latest happenings!. As always, the real party is in the comments -- I hope to see you there!

Recap, recap! 

We pick up with the action after the HoH comp and those hamsters are so darn cute when they're all so excited! They are still introducing themselves and such. Derek F volunteers to go by Big D as there are two Dereks. Frenchie tells us a "meathead" will go home this week. It's narrowed down to Christian and one other as he promised some safety already.

We get a Have Not segment showing us their room. One bed is a boat. Frenchie talks to Derek F and they form a final two. 

Frenchie tells Azah that he plans to not to target a woman this week. He tells us if he promises safety, he means it. He also tells Alyssa she's safe. And all the other women the same.

Then he talks to "meathead" Brent who not only sucks up to him, but talks of his father's suicide. Now, how can you not fee the need to protect Brent? Brent gives him his word that he will protect him next week if he is safe this week.

Their screen in the living room announces a Wildcard comp. HoH winning team does not compete. Winner gets safety for him and himself but not their own team. Once someone plays, they can't play again unless the entire team has played. One from each team plays.

Alyssa and Sarah tell Xavier and Christian they don't feel the need to play as Frenchie told them they're safe. Christian wants to play.

In the comp, they have Kyland, Christian and Whitney's team couldn't decide -- BB decides Hannah on a draw.

Kyland up first. They must quietly search for lost keys, phone and wallet in a trashed hotel room. They have five minutes to search before penalties kick in. They must not make noise or get penalties. It's called Do Not Disturb. Then Christian. Then Hannah.

Hannah noise 114 414 total score she had time scores

Christian noise did very well and under five minutes.

Kyland went over time and noise.

Christian wins safety. He has to spin a wheel to see how many of his teammates he can keep safe. He could end up with the whole team safe or just one other.

He spins and it lands on one person. Uh-oh! He chooses Xavier as the girls on his team told him that Frenchie already promised them safety. Alyssa tells us she doesn't want to be the first person on the block. Christian thinks his entire team is safe. 

Frenchie now claims to have no clue who to nominate. He sees that Christian seems to be wanting to showmance Alyssa. Oh noes! No meatheads! No showmancers! He asks a group if anyone has approached them for alliances. Alyssa tells him no other than the team aspect. He thinks she's lying. He decides if he can't go after Christian, he needs to go after the "next best thing."

Nominations time ... Frenchie nominates Kyland, then Alyssa. He says he had a fishing dream and needed the perfect bait. Kyland was nominated because he wants someone he trusted to play in the comp with him. No reason stated for Alyssa. She's very shocked as she had been promised safety. Kyland is a bit less shocked as he thought he got along well with Frenchie.

BB23: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 11

 

R-A-G-G-M-O-P-P Ragmop! Curls are back.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Scampering Squirrels:

• As you surely know from my last brief update, Derek X won the Power of Veto.
• What? You didn't read it? Shame on you! Pshaw!
• Yes, he won it and Brent was immediately on him telling him that he needs to do whatever Frenchie wants to do with it.
• Later on, believe it or not, Alyssa (on the block with Kyland and has to know that Frenchie wants Kyland saved) was giving Derek X the same advice.
• She actually made more sense of it, telling him that if he didn't do what Frenchie wanted, he would no longer trust him. It's a way of building trust and protecting his own game.
• Obviously she thinks whoever the replacement is will be the one evicted and the "bigger fish" as Frenchie puts it.
• Hmm.
• His original bigger fish was Christian who saved his own butt with his Wildcard Comp win on Friday.
• Derek X then seemed to be his target.
• Now Derek X has safety with the PoV win plus he had had a heart to heart talk similar to Brent's talk with Frenchie and gained favor before the comp.
• The list of your large fish is shrinking almost by the day.
• He's telling the guys he will be putting up a woman.
• Hmm.
• He's told Alyssa that he put her up because she lied to him about knowledge of alliances.
• Then came Derek's talk with Frenchie.
• Oh my. Frenchie was very passive aggressive about it all -- "I'd really like Kyland saved. But you won it. Do whatever you want with it. Of course, it would be nice if you save Kyland but it's your choice."
• Okaaay.
• He also told Derek X that Alyssa is now his target.
• Hmm.
• SarahBeth's father passed away of COVID last July. Sigh.
• It seems like winning the PoV took a weight off of Derek's shoulders. All of a sudden he's a social butterfly where as before he was cordial but very quiet. He must have really been worried that he would be evicted.
• Now, Derek F is very social. However, I notice that he's tight-lipped about game talk when it comes to things affecting his own game. That's a good move.
• While Derek X was with him, Frenchie had Brent come in. He ignored his own teammate Azah who wanted to get in there to shower so he could talk to Brent.
• He's not as much for either women or his own team than he is with the alpha boys, eh?
• However, I still think that Derek X will save Kyland and it will be alpha boy Travis up and out.
• But I wouldn't wager money on it. This HoH reign has been very unpredictable.
• It sounds like BB has told them no smoking, not even in the yard, this year. Although I haven't heard him say anything about it, I've seen Frenchie putting on a nicotine patch. Then tonight Derek F was complaining that they let Evel Dick smoke and they won't let him although he was smoking in the yard the other day.
• Late late night Whitney and Frenchie, mostly Frenchie, went around pranking sleeping hamsters putting shaving cream on their hands (and sometimes feet), then waking them up while hiding.
• Oh, so darn funny.
• Not really.
• Today should be pretty much a day of rest and yard for them.
• PoV meeting tomorrow and I would almost bet my bippy that Derek X will abide by Frenchie's wishes and save Kyland.
• After all, that would be best for his game.

Kyland doesn't seem all that worried

Pranking ensues

Derek X wore the bling forever and a day!
